I honestly really love what they did with the 1993 Mario movie. I feel like it gets judged unfairly.

They referenced Mario games so old and new that they literally included a song from the absolute newest one to come out.

Actually and since we are on the subject of Samurai Jack? If to make it more hard hitting for a Metroid style animated TV series. Have Craig [hope that the guy who made Samurai jack] do the show and make it VERY atmospheric and let the environments speak for themselves,, similar to how he did that Caveman...I think I am thinking of the right one, that caveman style animated show he did. Where it was all atmospheric and allowed the environments tell the story with very little to no dialogue. It can work for the foreboding sense of story telling, while still keeping the feeling of Samus being the only one on the planet.
